  • the columnar bodies 214H in the high-elasticity region 210H and the columnar bodies 214L in the low-elasticity region 210L are not limited to hexagonal columns.
  • each of the columnar bodies 214H and 214L may be formed in a triangular prism shape as shown in FIG. 21, or may be formed in a columnar shape (not shown).
  • the surfaces of the columnar bodies 214H and 214L are preferably formed in a polygonal shape in a plan view, as in the first embodiment, and in particular preferably formed in a polygonal shape having a pentagon or more.
  • the formation position of the low-elasticity region 210L is not limited to the rear leg region R2. As shown in FIGS. 22 to 25, it may be formed in the region from the forefoot region R1 to the middle foot region R3. In these modes, the impact applied to the forefoot or midfoot is mitigated.
  • the low-elasticity region 210L is provided in the central portion of the cushioning portion 210 in the foot width direction, and has seven columnar bodies 214L.
  • the low-elasticity region 210L is provided in the central portion of the cushioning portion 210 in the foot width direction, and has four columnar bodies 214L.
  • the low-elasticity region 210L is provided in a region on the outer foot side in the foot width direction of the cushioning portion 210, and has four columnar bodies 214L.
  • the low-elasticity region 210L is provided in a region on the inner foot side in the foot width direction of the cushioning portion 210, and has four columnar bodies 214L.
  • the low-elasticity region 210L does not have to be entirely surrounded by the high-elasticity region 210H. As shown in FIG. 24, a portion of the low modulus region 210L may be directly adjacent to the support surface 220a. In addition, in the examples of FIGS. 22, 23 and 25, the entire periphery of the low-elasticity region 210L is surrounded by the high-elasticity region 210H.
  • the low-elasticity region 210L may be formed at a position overlapping the ball of the big toe of the wearer of the shoe 1.
  • a sole according to one aspect of the present disclosure is a sole that constitutes a part of a shoe, and has a cushioning portion that reduces the impact applied to the foot upon landing, and an elastic modulus higher than that of the cushioning portion. and a support portion for supporting the foot, the support portion having a support surface provided around the buffer portion, the buffer portion being recessed from the support surface. and a plurality of columnar bodies each having a shape extending from the concave surface to the same height position as the support surface, and the buffer portion includes a high-elasticity region adjacent to the support surface and the a low elastic region adjacent to the high elastic region and having a lower elastic modulus than the high elastic region.
  • the cushioning part reduces the impact on the foot when landing. Furthermore, since the cushioning portion has the high-elasticity region adjacent to the support surface and the low-elasticity region adjacent to the high-elasticity region, the difference in elastic modulus between the supporter, the high-elasticity region, and the low-elasticity region is reduced. Therefore, discomfort felt by the wearer is reduced.
  • the columnar body in the low-elasticity region has a lightening portion.
  • the lightening portion may be a through hole penetrating through the columnar body in the thickness direction of the sole.
  • the low-elasticity region is made of a material having a lower hardness than the material forming the high-elasticity region.
  • the high-elasticity region has a shape surrounding the entire periphery of the low-elasticity region.
  • the cushioning portion may be provided in a rear foot region that overlaps the rear foot portion of the wearer of the shoe in the thickness direction of the sole.
  • the impact applied to the rear foot is mitigated.
  • the low-elasticity region is preferably formed at a position overlapping the calcaneus of the wearer of the shoe in the thickness direction of the sole.
  • the cushioning portion extends from a forefoot region that overlaps the forefoot portion of the wearer of the shoe in the thickness direction of the sole to a middle foot region that overlaps the middle foot portion of the wearer of the shoe in the thickness direction of the sole. may be provided.
  • the low-elasticity region is preferably formed at a position overlapping the ball of the big toe of the wearer of the shoe in the thickness direction of the sole.
  • a shoe according to one aspect of this disclosure includes the sole and an upper directly or indirectly connected to the sole and positioned above the sole.
  • the upper may have an insole connected to the surface of the sole.
  • the support surface is adhered to the insole and the cushioning portion is not adhered to the insole.
